If you have 1D which is just a line; you can only get from one end to the other by touching the middle. But if you add the 2ND dimension, you can get from one point to another on that line without touching a point between. The same scenario applys to 2D and 3D respectively. So if you wanted to get, for example, from under the bed to ontop without touching any other point, you could utilize the fourth spatial dimension. Am I correct in saying this???

I don't think you are forced to sue the 4th dimension. Bed in a room which is a 3 D space. You can get from under the bed to on top of the bed without exiting the room, so no it isn't always true.
I have heard of "Time warp" where you go from under the bed in the present but climb into a bed in the centuries past. Then you have used the 4th dimension.

Are you saying you could describe these oddball scenarios better? Have a go then!

Time Warp.
The terms time warp, space warp and time-space warp are commonly used in science fiction. They sometimes refer to Einstein's theory that time and space form a continuum which bends, folds or warps from the observer's point of view, relative to such factors as movement or gravitation, but are also used in reference to more fantastic notions of discontinuities or other irregularities in spacetime not based on real-world science.

I understand your time warp theory. But I wasn't exactly referring to timE. I know we can't exactly imagine another spatial dimension and that's why I used the examples. So is it possible to travel into the 4TH SPACIAL dimension to essentially teleport from one point in a 3D world to another point in that same world..

This was the one I saw years back - Time slip

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_slip
Time Slip
“The Vanishing Hotel
A widely-publicised case from October 1979, described in the ITV television series Strange But True?[1], concerned the Simpsons and the Gisbys, two English married couples driving through France en route to a holiday in Spain. They claimed to have stayed overnight at a curiously old-fashioned hotel and decided to break their return journey at the same hotel but were unable to find it. Photographs taken during their stay, which were in the middle of a roll of film, were missing, even from the negative strips, when the pictures were developed.”

There could be other spacial dimensions beyond the speed of light. When you are talking "Teleport" - you are talking other dimensions alright. I'll pass you over to Alex regarding that.

Nice try, LE, but.....

The 'physical dimension' equivalence for time you wrote there is an expression entirely dependent (both relatively and mathematically) on the other three physical spatial dimensions, without which your proffered example would be a mathematical expression without any physical meaning. smile.gif

From the context to date, it appears albert2 is asking you to identify an 'independent' physical dimension for 'time' that is not 'derived' from the other 3 (spatial) dimensions.

Try again, mate! Cheers, LE. smile.gif

synthsin75
Nope, RC doesn't know what he's talking about.

You cannot derive a second from the speed of light without first defining a unit of time, as c is a speed which is:

c = d/t

1 second = 3 x 10^5 km should properly read:

c = 3 x 10^5 km/sec

Thus:

sec = c / 3 x 10^5 km

Neither the distance nor the time is removable from any working formula for a motion, as:

sec = (3 x 10^5 km/sec) / 3 x 10^5 km

You can never remove a predetermined unit of time from the right side of that equation.

Before you again jump in to a discussion, for pity's sake do some proper 'due diligence' and read the whole context that applies. Your input, while interesting and educational in itself, had nothing to do with 'correcting' anythng I said in context to LE and his own obvious misunderstanding of the meaning/measurement implied by the term 'light second' etc. smile.gif

Nope, just proves that LE was right about you not understanding, as anyone who knows anything about physics would realize that "1 second = 3 x 10^5 km" is how long it takes light to travel ~3 x 10^5 km. Which is stated mathematically as:

sec = c / 3 x 10^5 km

Yet again, you are using your MO of complaining about "context" and "due diligence" in a failed attempt to gloss over your ignorance. Just "quit it". You only affirm your ignorance every time you jump off on one of these justification tangents.

Granted, the trolls here don't realize that.

Everybody (except LE it seems) knows that 'lightseconds' and 'lightyears' are 'length units' used for distances across space, not time per se.

And everyone, except you, seems to know that these "length units" cannot possibly be derived without time. And you verify that yourself, in your very next paragraph:

QUOTE
The time is ALREADY IMPLIED in the 'standard second/year' duration we apply and over which we observe light to travel during that second/year to a point that, by definition, is one 'lightsecond' or one 'lightyear distance away in space from its starting point in space.


That (bolded) is just restating what I said here:

A dimension is just a direction in which you can move.

The usual three are forward-back, up-down, left-right (x, y, z axis). You can't move forward by going up or down and left or right. Similarly, if there were a 4th spatial dimension we could move in, we couldn't use movement in that direction to bypass movement in any of the other spatial dimensions.

I just got through telling you that time is already implicit in the standard units we use to measure length in space in terms of lightyears/lightseconds. These standard units are already based on motion through space (of Earth along orbit around sun and light across distance of space).

Apparently you've already been drinking.

You didn't tell me anything, as I've already pointed out that you only restated what I previously said:

QUOTE (me+)

sec = (3 x 10^5 km/sec) / 3 x 10^5 km

You can never remove a predetermined unit of time from the right side of that equation.


So either this was just too far over you head or you didn't exercise the "due diligence" you are continually accusing others of neglecting. So which is it??????????????

See, synthsin75. That was all that was involved in context, and it was AMUSING context, wherein LE (pretended in order to 'bait', I suspect) that he knew less than Albert2 and Robbitybob1 about that point. And it was all HILARIOUS. And in the meantime LE got some of his merciless mocking bounced back at him by Robbitybob1 when LE least expected it!


You're just far too dense. Both you and RB completely missed the time necessary to deriving a time standard from a length with light. Hell, you've even admitted as much above and you STILL can't pull your foot out of your mouth.

You're just a literal-minded simpleton. All you could manage to process was the literal length in LE's post instead of the real relationship it described. (At least RB knew the relationship, even if he didn't realize the necessity for time inherent in it.) And you've already agreed, twice now, that that length is determined by how far light travels in 1 second.

Just keep drinking, old fool. At least the spirits will keep you as jocular as you seem, regardless of how ridiculous you sound.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-second
A light-second is a unit of length useful in astronomy, telecommunications and relativistic physics. It is defined as the distance that light travels in free space in one second, and is equal to exactly 299,792,458 metres. It is just over 186,000 miles and almost 109 feet.
Just as the second forms the basis for other units of time, the light-second can form the basis for other units of length, ranging from the light-nanosecond (just under one U.S. or imperial foot) to the light-minute, light-hour and light-day, which are sometimes used in popular science publications. The more commonly-used light-year is also presently defined to be equal to precisely 31557600 light-seconds, since the definition of a year is based on a Julian year (not Gregorian year) of exactly 365.25 days, each of exactly 86400 SI seconds.[1]

Whereas a second is not defined by using measurement of length.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second
Since 1967, the second has been defined to be the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.[1]

So I stand on the definitions and not by rearrangement of the velocity equals distance over time formula.
